Summary of "Barbara O'Neill Reveals 7 Natural Ways to Reverse Glaucoma and Cataracts 👁️"
Key Wellness Strategies, Self-Care Techniques, and Productivity Tips to Reverse Glaucoma and Cataracts Naturally
-
Castor Oil Treatment
- Apply pure, cold-pressed castor oil around the eyelids (not directly in the eye) twice daily, preferably at night.
- Contains ricinoleic acid with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties.
- Helps reduce swelling, irritation, and may dissolve cataracts over time.
- Be patient and consistent; improvements may take weeks to months.
- Use a clean fingertip or cotton swab to apply gently.
-
Herbal Eyewash
- Prepare a wash using equal parts eyebright and golden seal herbs, steeped and cooled.
- Add a small pinch of cayenne pepper to improve blood circulation by opening capillaries.
- Apply gently twice daily with an eye dropper or cotton pad.
- Eyebright soothes irritation; golden seal has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Slight stinging is normal and indicates active circulation.
- Helps reduce eye pressure associated with glaucoma.
-
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
- Essential for retinal cell membrane repair and reducing inflammation.
- Best sources: fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) or plant-based sources (flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts).
- Consistent daily intake supports eye health and may slow cataract progression.
- EPA and DHA forms are most beneficial; plant-based ALA must convert to these.
-
Plant-Based Proteins and High-Fiber Diet
- Emphasize legumes (lima beans, chickpeas, lentils), nuts, and seeds for clean, high-quality protein.
- Protein supports cell membrane regeneration and eye tissue repair.
- Fiber-rich plant foods aid nutrient absorption and reduce systemic inflammation.
- Moderate nut intake (about 10 nuts per meal) and seeds (~1/4 cup per meal).
- A balanced, colorful plant-based diet provides antioxidants protective against eye degeneration.
-
Eye Exercises and Rebounding
- Use Rebounding (jumping on a trampoline) to increase blood flow throughout the body and eyes.
- Practice focusing alternately on near and far objects (e.g., window frame and distant plant) every 10 seconds while Rebounding.
- Improves eye muscle strength and flexibility, enhancing focus shifting ability.
- For those without rebounders, do similar focus-switching exercises near a window or between close and distant objects.
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to reduce eye strain.
-
Lifestyle Adjustments to Reduce Eye Strain
- Limit screen time, especially for children, to prevent overexposure to short-range focus.
- Encourage regular breaks to view distant objects (mountains, clouds, trees, birds).
- Maintain a clean and organized environment to balance screen time with other tasks.
- Perform intense focus tasks in the morning when brain and eyes are fresh.
- Adjust computer setup: screen at arm’s length, slightly below eye level, reduce glare, and adjust brightness/contrast.
-
Sunshine Exposure
- Natural sunlight strengthens eyesight via neurochemical pathways connecting eyes and brain.
- Avoid direct sun staring but allow sunlight to reach eyes by closing eyelids and tilting head up for 10-20 seconds.
- Sunglasses block important light signals that help regulate skin protection and eye health; use only when necessary (e.g., driving, skiing).
- Balance sun exposure safely to enhance eye and brain health.
